    I went to https://everlastinggospelofpeace.wordpress.com and from here I could see both of the posts you mentioned not appearing .

    Can you please check again if you can see them now?
    If not, can you tell me what you see?

    Thanks!

    First of all, I appreciate your prompt response. Thank you! Well, most of the posts appear under both these “Followed Sites” and “Discover” categories, except my posts as they are only visible under the “Followed Sites” and not under “Discover”. Can you enlighten me as to what exactly is the difference between “Followed Sites” and “Discover” as I am a newbie to all this? Thank you once again. YAH Bless!

  • Followed Sites shows you the newest posts from the sites you follow, and is the default Reader view. Here, you can manage your preferences for these sites — you can choose to receive new posts by email as well as in your Reader.

    Discover is a destination site showcasing the best content published with WordPress, including daily editors’ picks, recommended sites, and weekly features.

    So basically the Followed Site session includes the content you choose, while the Discover highlights the WordPress editors’ best picks.

    The reason why a blog can’t be featured in the Discovery session are several, such as posts not being tagged or with too much quotations.

    Here is an interesting article that explains how to get featured in the Discovery session: https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-featured-on-discover/.

    Hope all is clear :) If you have any other questions, drop a line here. We’re happy to help ;)

    Non-visibility of my posts from other sites!My posts are visible only from my site. Why are my posts not being visible from other sites? None of my posts are visible from other sites. Can you please let me know why?

  • Hello there,

    Can you clarify what you mean? It’s a good thing that your blogs appear only on your website. They can be featured elsewhere but that depends on many factors.

    I look forward to your clarification so I can give you a better reply if I can :)

    My posts appear only when I look it up through my site. It is not visible from any other sites. For example, if someone else logs in from another site, it should still be visible in the Followed Sites, right! Which is not the case. Do you get it?

  • The blog can be seen from the Followed Sites only if you’ve subscribed/followed the site.

    For instance, I don’t follow your blog, so on my Followed Sites your blog doesn’t appear. In order to see it from there, I need to follow your site.

    So, my questions is: do you know somebody who has followed your blog and can’t see it from the Followed Sites area?

    Does this make any sense to you or am I still miss something? Sorry for the long exchange of replies, just trying to make sure I got it all!

    All the other posts are visible except mine! If they are followed posts, then how come all the other posts except mine are visible there.

    In my site, I can view my posts – my latest post, My Favorite Book – The Book of Life! is visible between The First Snowfall and Stories Make Us Human. But my post is missing from between the other posts when it is viewed from another site.

    Hope I am clear now. And hope you have understood the issue.

  • I got that now, but I honestly don’t know the answer, I’m so sorry I’m not so useful at this point :(

    I’m tagging this to Staff attention, I’m positive they will figure this out.
    Please subscribe to the thread so to be notified when they get back to you.

    Hello everlastinggospelofpeace!

    I’m not sure if I understood your question either… I have started to follow your blog and all the posts are being shown on the Reader, at Followed Sites, as you can see it below:

    You have three posts and I can see all of them, they are only between other blogs posts that I also follow.

    Hi Happiness Engineer Carina:

    Thank you for showing a happy face! Refreshing smile you have there!!

    And thank you for following my posts at Followed Sites.

    Yes, you can see all of them from there. But login from another site and try seeing my posts. Are they visible now? Let me know if you can see them from there. Ask someone else to log in from their sites and / or from a couple of more new sites. See if it is visible from there. You’ll know!

    Thanks!

    Keep smiling and help us keep smiling!

    @everlastinggospelofpeace, thanks! :D

    The Reader has different ways to show your posts, it can show when the reader is following your site or looking for a tag. I was able to see your posts following your blog, and now I tested searching by tag and found the posts too. The last post has the tag “End Times”, I was able to find the post looking for this tag on the Reader. You can add more tags to make your blog posts easier to find.

    As @stefaniamattana said, there the Discover option on the Reader, where some posts appears. Here is more information about the Reader that can be useful:

    Reader

    The Reader is not linked to the users sites, an user has one Reader on its account. So, I’m not sure what you mean when you ask to login from another site. I was able to find your posts with another user too.

    carinapilar – I understand that you are saying that WordPress doesn’t have a ‘Home Page’ like Facebook. It only has “tag” mode and “follow” mode, and unless someone is searching for your tag, then they will never be able to follow you unless you someday show up in Discover zone by a minor miracle. Am I right? In other words, ‘tags’ are your only portal to the light of day. Okay, so why doesn’t that work for my site?

    1) Go to my site: https://politicalconnection.wordpress.com
    2) Look for my article “REPUBLICANS 2016: Their only hope”
    3) Published today on February 3, 2016
    4) Use this tag to search for it “electability”
    5) And if you can find the article, then you’re doing better than me.

    @politicalconnection, I’m going to send an email to the address associated with your WordPress.com account, then we can proceed with your situation. Please post here if you don’t receive it.
